Sodium n-octyl sulfate (SOS) has wide application fields and broad industry development prospects.

Sodium n-octyl sulfate, also known as sodium octyl sulfate, or SOS for short, is an inorganic chemical substance with the chemical formula C8H17NaO4S. It appears as a light yellow transparent liquid, is toxic, and is easily soluble in hot water. Sodium n-octyl sulfate is a non-foaming (foam height is 0) surfactant. It has excellent acid and alkali resistance, hard water resistance, biodegradability and good wetting, diffusion and cleaning effects. It can be used as a moisturizer. Wetting agents, detergents, dispersants, penetrants, emulsifiers, degreasing agents, etc. are used in industrial cleaning, degreasing, electroplating, papermaking, tanning, chemical industry, textile and other fields.

Specifically, in the field of electroplating, sodium n-octyl sulfate can be used as a primary brightener, low-foam wetting agent and other products for nickel plating and acidic galvanizing scenarios; in the field of industrial cleaning, sodium n-octyl sulfate can be used as Hard surface cleaners, alkaline detergents, and metal processing cleaning agents are used in metal processing, vehicles and mechanical equipment, ceramics, and glass cleaning scenarios. They play a role in reducing the viscosity of the mixture and improving the water solubility of dirt; in the chemical industry, Zhengxin Sodium sulfate can be used as an emulsifier in emulsion system polymerization or copolymerization scenarios based on acrylate, vinyl acetate, acetyl acetate, vinyl chloride, and acrylonitrile.

According to the “China Sodium Octyl Sulfate (SOS) Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that electroplating and industrial cleaning are the main application areas of sodium n-octyl sulfate. In recent years, with the rapid development of the downstream market, the market demand for sodium n-octyl sulfate has continued to increase. In 2022, my country’s electroplating market size will exceed 170 billion yuan, and the industrial cleaning market size will exceed 4 billion yuan. Against this background, the scale of domestic sodium n-octyl sulfate continues to expand, and the industry shows good development prospects.

At present, my country’s sodium n-octyl sulfate production companies mainly include Guangzhou Double Bond Trading, Shanghai Keether Chemical Technology, Shanghai Donghui Chemical Technology, Shandong Gaotai Chemical Technology, Jiangsu Haian Petrochemical, Jiangxi Rewell Biotechnology, and Shanghai Yuanye Biotechnology There are a large number of enterprises in science and technology, mainly small and medium-sized enterprises. There is no obvious leading enterprise yet, and there is still huge room for development in the industry in the future.

Industry analysts said that sodium n-octyl sulfate is a type of surfactant with excellent performance. Widely used in electroplating, industrial cleaning, chemical industry and other fields. In recent years, with the rapid development of the downstream market, the market demand for sodium n-octyl sulfate has continued to increase, and the industry has good development prospects. At present, there are many domestic sodium n-octyl sulfate manufacturers, but most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises with low technical level and weak product competitiveness. In the future, local enterprises will need to continuously improve their technical level and increase product research and development efforts to promote their competitiveness. Continue to strengthen.
